Entertaining fluff about waitresses who work for a restaurant chain that caters to railroad passengers in the old west. The girls bring "civilization" to one wild town and clash with the girls of the local saloon hall, led by a young Angela Lansbury. The good girl contingent is led by Judy Garland. A highlight is a cat fight between the saloon hall girls and proper waitresses. Judy and Angela also have a personal rivalry for the owner of the saloon, you can guess which one wins. Judy reunites with her old scarecrow pal from The Wizard of Oz, Ray Bolger.
